About this work

This sketch shows three people in old-fashioned clothes. Two men in wide hats and puffy jackets are on the sides, pointing at a woman in the middle. She wears a big dress with ruffles and stands with her arms out, facing away. The lines are scratchy and dark, like someone drew fast with a sharp tool. The paper looks old and yellowed, with a faint watermark. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
